You may have to. In true traditional form my laptop packed up just after the
warranty expired, great engineering by Toshiba. Anyway, I just bought a new

Give people the option of loading their already owned version of XP instead
of muscling the PC manufacturers to force your unfinished bug infested
experimental O/S's on us.
